Not even close. They were dominated 5v5 that period

True but usually we're the team that carries play yet ends up trailing because every mistake we make ends up in the net. Nice to be on the other side for a change

I agree, not sure why anyone would think the Flyers played a great period. They're winning the goal battle, which is what counts most, but the Flyers gave up a ton of grade A chances against. Mason was outstanding.

JFC do we have an entire page arguing the merits of a slash down on a stick by Raffl?

For (frank)'s sake....just determine what is the objective truth and move on.

If it was a stick lift, I'd agree with you, but it was not. It was an absolute overhand slash by Raffl. Your comment about me obviously not haven't played the game, is nonsensical. All it takes is eyesight to see what it was. Done with this.

Yes it's a PPG and I get the joke but man. Would really like to see some consistent threatening 5-on-5 shifts. He makes 8,750,000 a year.

Ok.. just for you.. I'll put the snarkasm aside for a moment.

They are who they are. Essentially, they're the same team they were last year, and they've even gotten off to the same crappy start (slightly better, but work with me here) that they did last year. They're going to have to turn it on again just like they did last year if they're going to make the playoffs. Even if they do make the playoffs, they're probably* not getting into the 2nd round.

This is going to take patience... and while I'm being patient, I'm going to crack jokes and make fun of the handful of croakers and trolls on this board.


*Feel free to be hopeful.

Shots against don't tell the whole story like I said they turned the puck over int he early going but rebounded nicely. Usually they just allow the scoring chances for the other team to pile up nice to see them fight back for once
- FreshFlyer


They were still outchanced 1-9... They will need to get better 5v5 to win this.

Edit: Or we can just keep gettings PPs lol

For sure he does, I want to see Read put with him and Schenn, I think those 3 together would create some quality chances. VDV holds that line back offensively in my opinion
- FreshFlyer


i wouldn't mind seeing read up front instead of raffl, but i suggested this line with him earlier today. on board with that.

Too many PP's will lead to too many short handed goals against.

If the defensemen are going to purely shoot in the offensive zone they have got to start hitting the net. It's getting ridiculous.

I'm leaning towards taking out if the game just to be safe. He's been testing that left leg for a long time

I firmly believe that there is still an undisclosed issue with G. His skating in stride seems Ok, but he has really looked slow getting to speed. He seems to lack any power at all. There must be unresolved issues with his hip or something.
